I think I must be....not sure how an innocent observation on badger numbers 2 months ago can have led to a handbag fight
Unfortunately even an innocent observation can be hijacked, given a twist of mild paranoia and..........Off go the kids again!

I found a badger set just around the corner from where I live and tonight the mother brought two cubs with her .They spent around an hour digging some of the lawn up looking for worms but who cares its only grass

To have them on your lawn is fantastic.
I have yet to see a live badger in the wild - our lawn has played host to foxes, hedgehogs, moles, adders, frogs and newts.

Don't let on to Mr.S...

Depending on the Pasty's density and hardness of crust after a day it could be useful as a missile to ward off intruders.

Loads in my local rural part of Worcestershire as well. Sadly a fair few not conversant with the Green Cross Code
